Chord Progression Podcast: The Gateway to New Rock and Metal Music – Détails, épisodes et analyse

When any band changes vocalists, naturally fans are going to be rather vocally opinionated regarding the change whether they like it or not. But when that vocalist transition is from a male vocalist to a female vocalist (or vice versa), the opinions and criticisms can be much more striking. So how does that band succeed going forward.

This French band experienced just that in 2023, and through a combination of band unity, mental & emotional strength from the new vocalist, and the quality of music to back it up, the band not only succeded but began to thrive. Now in 2025, with a brand new album starting the next era, plenty more greatness is in store.

Camille from the French band Novelists is with us on the Chord Progression Podcast today! The new album Coda (releasing May 16th), is the first full-length album with Camille as lead vocalist. Dive into this with us as we talk about:

• What Camille experienced taking over as lead vocals for Novelists from having the mental strength to deal with polarizing fan opinions, finding the utmost support from her bandmates, to earning her flowers as the new vocalist of Novelists.
• The writing of Coda being a brand new chapter in the Novelist sound with Camille as vocalist, nd the importance of being open to an artist's evolution over their careers.
• Which songs on the record Camille is most excited for fans to discover.

This episode is wrapped up tightly, full of everything you could want from Novelists. Tap the subscribe button as we will keep being the best place to discover the newest and best bands in rock & metal!

Kevin's Final Thought; The is How You Handle a Vocalist Change as a Band: (30:25)

There are many musicians out there that start in one sound or genre, and then move to the next. It is not anything uncommon. But one of the hardest decisions artists have to make is if taking a step back from the success you had prior to start something new will lead to greater happiness and success later on.

One upcoming band has already discovered this and is here to show you that taking a step back to take 2 steps forward in the end is not as scary as it seems, and could be a great idea for any artist to take.

AJ and Will from the metalcore band Resider join the Chord Progression Podcast today, to help get you to discover great new music. On this episode we discuss:

- How Resider's origins came from the progressive deathcore world, and how taking a step back from their prior success lead to the band finding better success in the long run.

- Why the band will always put on the best performance no matter the circumstances, and how a 1 AM show proves just that.

- The reality of a growing band touring through the USA, and the challenge the rocky mountains present for your favorite bands going from west to east, or vice versa.

Kevin's Final Thought; Always Bringing New Artists Here: (56:48)

Metal music has been undergoing many changes since the dawn of Spotify and the age of streaming. With more focus on the release of the single and staying relevant to an algorithm, the importance of the album has suffered. This also comes at a time when artists making money from their music is becoming more sparce, and the incentive to make music that pleases an algorithm seems to grow.

So how is metal music going to grow and thrive in a time like this? Clearly there is one way, and that is to focus on the art that is the music. Quality music is what brings us back to the artists we love, not because they make a trendy sound. This band here, absolutley embodies that on this record.

Ayden from the Italian fantasy metal band Elvenking is on the podcast today. Their new album and conclusion of the Readers of the Runes trilogy, Luna, drops on April 11th. On this episode, join us as we dive deep into:

• The concept of metal music and its artistic integrity being compromised due to more artists focus on making money and to please the streaming algorithms, and if this is going to stall metal's resurgence.
• An understanding what musicians and artists go through on tour in 2025, and why seeing every band on a tour bill is paramount now more than ever.
• Reader of the Runes' backstory before the release of the final installment, Luna, and making a trilogy album in a Spotify and single-centered world.
• A look at the song Starbath and how Elvenking mindfully integrates folk music into their style of metal.

What Else is on Tap

If you have been to a punk rock show lately, you may have noticed something about the demographic of the crowd... it tends to be a lot older. So the question is... is punk rock failing to connect with the next generation?

We found an "all-around" punk band to explore this with, see what had changed, and get a better idea of how bands can help the younger generation find a home in Punk.

Nick from the Australian punk band Fake News joins the Chord Progression Podcast. This episode is one where we get into it about punk rock with

• Exploring the reasons why the next generation is not getting into punk, and why the new way of discovering music might be a cause of it.
• How punk rock came into Nick's life and inspired the rest of the band to pursue their dreams.
• Why it is important to have fun with band promotion in the social media age.

There is a certain hallmark that we have found with the most successful bands out there. Do you know what it is? We will tell you.

That hallmark attribute is being able to make your art the way you want, and use it to drive the best and most genuine fan connection. You can find bands that will continue to grow in the industry if they have this quality. And do know one that has it.

Damon from Of Virtue returns to the Chord Progression Podcast once again in 2024. While out on the road with Imminence, we catch up from the van, talking about

• Why the band takes that fan-first approach to their live shows, and the reason every other band should do the same.
• How Of Virtue inspires fans to defeat substance abuse through their music and openness in discussing the topic.

Kevin's Final Thought; Stay Genuine, Everyone: (56:01)

The fear of AI entering the music industry and completely changing the future of music to something less creative and more calculated is growing every day. Artists don't only have to compete for attention with each other, but now with an algorithm.

However, this conversation shows us the many reasons why AI will NEVER overtake an artist in the music industry. From their impact, their ability, and their personal desires, AI won't compete.

Jake and Joseph of the melodic metal band Witherfall rejoin the podcast for the first time in 3 years. This episode dives deep into

• The current state of AI in music, how it works, and why so many people are afraid it is going to destroy the music industry.
• Joseph's take on it and providing the reason why AI will not destroy the industry, convincing Kevin and Jake in the process.
• A look into what Witherfall has been up to in the past 3 years, and their upcoming festival runs trying to win over black metal fans.

Metal's growing popularity over the past 5 years has been something to behold. Bring Me The Horizon is the most popular in the genre, Knocked Loose played Coachella, and Sleep Token is an international powerhouse. But why is that.

It is because metal is the most eclectic genre out there right now, allowing so many people to find a home in something within the genre. And this deathcore band is easily encapsulating.

Technology has massively changed how musicians operate. Long gone are the days of just making the best music. Musicians need to have a brand, create music that is going to have a viral moment, ensure they have popularity on social media, and up to date on the latest trends.

But is that new relationship with technology hurting musicians creatively going forward? One band explored that frustration on their brand new album, and it comes from someone who has always been on the forefront of the social media landscape for music.

The one and only Lauren Babic of Red Handed Denial joins the Chord Progression Podcast to dive deep into the themes and sounds on the new album A Journey Through Virtual Dystopia (May 24th). On this episode, we get into it conversing about:

• How technology's evolution and the prominence of Tik Tok have changed music creation, focusing on viral moments and what is popular.
• Why so many musicians are feeling burnt out thanks to reels, trying to stay on top of trends, and dealing with an identity crisis as they now have to do everything.
• A dive into A Journey Through Virtual Dystopia, and how Red Handed Denial took a lot of chances to rediscover their identity in the Tik Tok age.
